Maradona Death Case: Argentine Court Declares Mistrial
Imagine a very famous soccer player named Maradona sadly passed away.
Some doctors and nurses were accused of not taking good care of him before he died.
A court case started to figure out what happened.
But, one of the judges had to leave because of a movie about the case.
Because of this, the whole case has to start over.
This means everything that was already said and done in court doesn't count anymore.
The court will have to begin again with a new trial sometime in the future, to see if the medical team did something wrong.
An Argentine court declared a mistrial in the Maradona negligence case.
The trial involved seven health professionals accused of negligence.
The decision followed a judge's withdrawal due to a documentary.
